Dense Set - Density in Metric Spaces

Density in Metric Spaces

An alternative definition of dense set in the case of metric spaces is the following. When the topology of X is given by a metric, the closure of A in X is the union of A and the set of all limits of sequences of elements in A (its limit points),

Then A is dense in X if

Note that . If is a sequence of dense open sets in a complete metric space, X, then is also dense in X. This fact is one of the equivalent forms of the Baire category theorem.

Famous quotes containing the word spaces:

    We should read history as little critically as we consider the landscape, and be more interested by the atmospheric tints and various lights and shades which the intervening spaces create than by its groundwork and composition.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
